A slender, monoline handwritten script with tall ascenders and a compact lowercase body, giving the letterforms a vertically stretched profile. Strokes move with a consistent, pen-like rhythm and a gentle rightward slant, with frequent loops and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that add flourish without becoming heavy. Curves are smooth and open, counters are narrow, and spacing feels light, producing an overall clean, delicate texture in text. Numerals echo the same narrow, flowing construction, with simple forms and a handwritten bounce.
Well-suited for invitations, greeting cards, and short expressive text where a personal handwritten tone is desirable. It also fits boutique packaging, beauty or lifestyle branding accents, and social media graphics—especially in headlines, names, and pull quotes rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is refined yet approachable—more like quick, stylish handwriting than formal calligraphy. Its lightness and looping forms convey a personal, romantic feel, while the tall proportions add a touch of sophistication.
Designed to capture the look of neat, flowing handwriting with a light touch—balancing legibility with tasteful flourishes. The tall, slender proportions and restrained stroke weight suggest an intention to feel elegant and modern while remaining informal and human.
Uppercase forms often introduce longer, sweeping strokes that create visual emphasis at word starts, while lowercase maintains a steady cadence suitable for short phrases. The narrow build and light strokes make it feel best when given generous size and breathing room.
